Masterpiece 37.09ct Sri Lankan Sapphire, Akoya Pearl and Diamond Figa Fortuna Pendant in 18ct Yellow Gold

Commanding attention at 37.09cts, the vivid blue allure of this superb cushion cut Sri Lankan sapphire is truly mesmerising. Certified by the Gemmological Certification Services as unheated, it retains its natural colour and clarity. As a sixth-generation family jeweller, Pragnell travels the world to source the finest gemstones for our carefully curated collection. Sri Lanka, known as “The Gem Island”, is celebrated for producing exceptional stones, including many of the world's most famous sapphires. The island's vivid, lighter, and brighter blue tones are highly prized. The Princess of Wales wears a 12ct oval-cut Sri Lankan sapphire engagement ring presented by Prince William in 2010, once owned by Diana, Princess of Wales, gifted to her by Prince Charles in 1981. Inspired by our heritage, this rare sapphire is held in an intricately modelled figa fortune form, showcasing detailed nails and an elaborate cuff. A 52cm lustrous Akoya pearl and 7.98ct briolette diamond chain enhance the statement drop section. Hands have been used in jewellery since ancient times, becoming especially popular during the Georgian and Victorian eras. Symbolising strength, loyalty, and fidelity, this piece reinterprets a classic motif with contemporary craftsmanship. Ingeniously convertible, a concealed diamond-set clasp on the underside allows the sapphire to be removed from the hand form, while the pearl and diamond chain can be detached and worn independently. This versatility enables multiple styling options to suit any occasion. A true Pragnell Masterpiece, this creation is a unique expression of our long history and dedication to being part of the most special moments in our clients' lives.
